Simultaneous Production of Nano Carbon, Hydrogen and Energy
ABSTRACT:
This process is based on compression of acetylene. When acetylene is compressed it explodes, generating thermal and mechanical energy and decomposes to its original constituents; carbon (finely divided) and hydrogen.
A patent pending design that allows to expand a vehicle - trailer, van or a truck above 300% compared to the initial surface and volume.
Project's phase: a working prototype has been used in several fields - construction, racing, educational and entertaining.
PROBLEM
Surgery is intrinsically invasive and unnatural. One of more prevalent surgeries that could be improved is colon resection, with more than 380,000 annually in the U.S. Commonly, a six inch incision provides access to the colon for the surgeon to visualize and manipulate the target area.
A Design of a Special Light Differential amplifier [ First Photo], originally designed to Detect Direct Light and Filter Out the Reflected Light from the Sky [ the primary function of which was to Orientate a Solar Collector by Locating and Tracking the Sun”],
Have you come across those annoying small insect-like flies? They will attack you when you are least expecting. They bring germs and virus to us. They are dangerous to our health. The only sure way to control them is to apply pesticides.
The present invention is a specialized container using a novel flexible gate system incorporated into the throat (or ingress/egress passageway) of a container for restricting (or controlling) fluid flow (or access) when the container is inverted. Enviromentally Safe Packaging Technology.
Unlike other oil containers,
Presented is an Autonomous Robotic Vehicle (ARV) that will perform transmission line inspections on municipal transmission lines without human intervention. The intent is to develop a system that will reduce the cost of current inspection methods while also increasing the frequency of these inspections.
INNOVATION & APPLICATION
This product will automate the process of making formula milk. It is a multiple purpose machine that contains a warming device to warm the feeder, mix the dry milk and water in proper proportion automatically and deliver the prepared milk to the feeder.
A liquid fuel missile was designed, built and tested. Design calculations for the two engines and propulsion systems were performed and the engines were constructed to those specifications. A static test stand was constructed and instrumented to evaluate engine performance during full duration static firings.
As many people by now realize, the traditional Edison 100W incandescent lamp (known as an "A19") is now no longer in production due to its low energy efficiency. Compact fluorescent "spirals" are generally considered the alternative, but they have some significant negative points,
